ColorChallenge WednesdayYellow - Snail Fail
Fail
Last time I posted about insects (Insects - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (plus the Newbie)), I forgot about one little fellow.
But in fact, I've just now realized that if I would have included it in an insect blog, I would have been guilty of misclassification.
This forgotten one rather is from the Gastropoda class, second only in numbers of named species after the Insecta class he is excluded from.
Just like the speed of this animal, I was pretty slow to catch up about where it fits in the animal kingdom and also in doing it justice by equally talking about it.
So, here I am almost one year later, finally giving it the spotlight it deserves.
Without further ado, allow me to introduce the snail.
Snail
Here he is hiding inside its shell. No wonder it escaped my attention.
Still, it is strange (but not in a WednesdayWeird kind of way) that I would have had chosen, consciously or not, to ignore its pervasive presence in my surroundings.
The guy seems to be literally hanging out everywhere.
He's sticking around on park signs, tree leaves...
And he is not alone in the area.
Can you spot his friends?
With a bit of patience, we get rewarded with a coming out of shell appearance by the shy creature.
Enough of the WednesdayYellow star, let's also give others some air time.
Snails come in a wide variety of colors...
But that will be for another AdayAcolor.
